We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

We occasionally feel the need to share the Sierra Trading Post with our readers. It's especially relevant in hunting season, winter, skiing season, and at Christmastime.

They have all sorts of good stuff. For example, it's the only place the men in this family buy shoes and boots including white-collar work shoes, sneakers, and hiking boots and shoes. For a sampling (their stuff changes constantly as they sell out) here's their hunting boots and their work boots.

At their prices, can you have too many pairs? Best to let shoes and boots dry out before using two days in a row, and, if you do, good ones last a lifetime. They will be sitting, waiting in your closet when you are dead and will end up in the dumpster but still willing to walk a mile for a Camel.

Their Campstool Road outlet/HQ in Cheyenne is amazing. Cowboys (um, real ones) shop for their Carhartt clothes right along with the touched and blessed sport hunters/fishermen buying their stuff. I love the place and was a long time catalog shopper before becoming a regular visitor to this outlet.

They're good Wyoming people and Christians, too. If you'll notice, they post a bible verse here and there, spotted one today on the checkout page. Excellent deals on skiwear and smartwool socks, which we love here in Northern Maine.
